I visited Ilfracombe in early May 2013 and we were let down by the weather (and the other passengers to be fair...). The hotel is clean, tidy and has lots of info about what to do and where to go around and about the place. The staff were friendly and helpful but there seemed to be dogs (belonging to staff)...
